Awww man , these Melo stories aren’t going to stop until free agency — and that’s months away. SMH. Get used to it people. According to a new report, Carmelo Anthony doesn’t want to be like a former Knick & he has 3 teams on his radar IF he leaves the Knicks. Check it out…
Via NYPost – Fear of being ‘next Marbury’ could sway Carmelo’s decision:
On Christmas, Stephon Marbury sat four rows behind the Knicks’ bench — his first visit to the Garden in three years.
Anthony sat on the bench in a brown suit, missing his first game with a sprained left ankle. Marbury and Anthony are products of Brooklyn — Coney Island and Red Hook, respectively. Marbury became such a pariah among Knicks fans the Garden didn’t have the heart last week to put him on the scoreboard for a “once-a–Knick-always-a-Knick” introduction.
“He saw Marbury get heckled by some fans on Christmas,’’ one source told The Post. “He doesn’t want to be the next Marbury. He’s very sensitive.”
….
Anthony wants to play for a winner, but desperately wants to play in a big market because of his business ventures — his Jordan Brand sneaker line, his PowerCoco energy drink, his watch deal.
That is why New York, Los Angeles, where he has a home, and even Chicago are on his short list, according to a source. The source said the Clippers — with buddy Chris Paul — are more attractive than the Lakers, though the purple-and-gold have cap space and the Clips don’t.
